Frequently Asked Questions
What does the "No Flange" design mean?
The adapter lacks the external mounting tabs (flanges) found on standard adapters, allowing it to fit into tighter spaces or specialized patch panel cutouts where a flush mount is required.
Is this adapter suitable for APC connectors?
No, this adapter is intended for standard singlemode applications. Using it with APC connectors may lead to alignment issues and performance degradation.
Can this be used with multimode fiber?
While physically compatible with LC connectors, the zirconia sleeve is optimized for singlemode tolerances. Using it with multimode fiber is generally not recommended if specific performance standards must be met.
Does this include dust caps?
Adapters typically ship with dust caps to protect the internal sleeve from contamination during shipping and installation.
What is the sleeve material?
This adapter utilizes a high-precision zirconia ceramic sleeve for optimal fiber alignment.
